Hi Marcelo,
I'll let Jeffrey or Grant respond further re: wxWidgets. On the
design side, we've been throwing around the idea of 'Spheres', which
sound a lot like your 'Baskets'. Some properties of Spheres include:
+ Visually different from Collections (perhaps spheres are highlighted)
+ Selecting the sphere is like selecting all the collections in that
sphere
+ Items can exist in multiple spheres
Nice to haves
+ Visual feedback in the List View (similar to the Calendar View) to
show collection membership when multiple collections are selected.
+ When selecting a sphere, the ability to remember which collections
were overlayed the last time you looked at that Sphere
+ Items can be dropped into a sphere, without being put into a
collection in the sphere
+ Collections can exist in multiple spheres
+ Ability to overlay multiple Spheres at once?
+ Entire spheres can be shared at a time (this would require
coordinate work in the web UI)
This has been our wishlist for spheres and I'm sure we can think of
additional functionality. So I imagine any foray into implementing
this feature should be phased.
Is some of this along the lines of what you've been thinking?

Hmmm.. doesn't wxWidget have a tree-view widget?

The repository supports collections containing other collections
nicely,
so the underlying structure would be easy. Doing UI for this would
take
a fair amount of effort, though, I think.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey
